Another stormy day. Even worse than the day before. This photo was taken in the morning on Kaunispää (425 m/1'394 ft). The tunturi has a restaurant, ski lifts and a toboggan run, the longest in Finland. The stormy winds let the temperature drop to around -30° Celsius/-22° Fahrenheit. Could you imagine skiing at those temperatures? The Finns are tough people. All those ”scars” in the snow were made by the strong winds and are not skiing tracks. Inari, Lapland.
The last spot of colour on that day at the foot of Kiilopää (546 m/1'791 ft). After that, the weather turned to a dull, boring grey. I had to protect my tripod with my body due to the strong winds to prevent an unsharp picture. The snow in this exposed position was hard as ice. Inari, Lapland.
Kiilopää (546 m/1'791 ft) is a tunturi in the Urho Kekkonen National Park. My goal was to get up there and take pictures. But the weather didn't play ball. I snowshoed to this spot and had to stop due to strong winds. I was at the foot of Kiilopää and decided to abandon my initial plan. The weather was too unforgiving. Inari, Lapland.
